I like the deal. It pretty much kills PHX's chance of getting a lottery pick in this years draft.

I'm assuming they'll start Bibby.

Bibby
Joe Johnson
Marvin Williams
Josh Smith
Al Horford

That's a pretty darn solid lineup right there. I think the Hawks are building themselves a very nice team over there.

Good move, then again Bibby is no Chris Paul (I bet it still hurts). It shouldn't be too hard to make the playoffs in that east.

Salary dump for the Kings. They also get a nice prospect in Sheldon Williams but I can't believe they couldn't get a 1st round pick out of the deal as well.

What are they going to do with four pg's though? Udrih, Johnson, Lue, and Douby.

They also have a bit of a logjam at F/C with Moore, Miller, Hawes, Abdul-Rahim, Thomas, and now S. Williams and Wright. Someone like Wright could be waived or if they trade Artest mabye they've suckered someone into taking Rahim or Thomas too.

*edit* They waived Dantay Jones and Justin Williams.

Remember when the Kings gave a Spurs a run for their money back in the 06 playoffs? BEFORE K-Mart's emergence (though he did have a great series, including that game-winner)? I'll never understand how entire teams can deflate so fast...

It's purely salary dump for the Kings. They hope they can sign someone else this summer to pair with Martin, Udrih, F.Garcia and Miller.
